On a couple of fora I'm a member of (Living History Library, formerly Arador, and Sword Forum International) there are member titles that aren't very descriptive and are based on post count, but they also have some other titles that are given out based on experience. On LHL those who are considered leaders in their feild are awarded with an "Experienced in my Feild" title, and professionals like bladesmiths are also honored on SFI. We do that to a limited extent here, but if there's concern over the member titles being uninformative, maybe we could explore different titles?
